Marvel Water Pistols

I expect to see Spider-Man and Cap, bonus points for Sgt Fury despite it being a German pistol but Kid Colt Outlaw? That has to be one of his only pieces of merchandise ever. I don't remember him packing a Saturday night special but whatevs...

It's no surprise Kid Colt didn't end up on much merch--Western comics were seeing their decline right as Marvel was becoming a hot licensing property, and why pay the fees when cowboys are so easy to "genericize", but it's kind of neat to see him pop up on "transitional" stuff.
